familyhistoryman Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May I need some help with this medal index card for Richard Eastwood 1210. It only shows that he was awarded the 1914-15 Star, but I cannot find his BWM or Victory Medal. The card show that he received the SWB, but I cannot find the record for this. Hope someone can help.

tootrock Posted 31 May Share Posted 31 May His BWM and Victory Medal are recorded under R. Eastwood. His SWB is recorded under R Eastwson (a mistranscription). Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless Ancestry for that name transcription! So we seem to be firming-up on 1210 ... so what about that 1203? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave66 Posted 18 June Share Posted 18 June (edited) I can only find him as 1203 war and victory….nothing remotely similar 1210!, Edit….his 14-15 star is under the number 1210….discharged 23-10-16 War and victory, under the number 1203….discharged 23-10-16 Edited 18 June by Dave66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
